Satellite's decent, except that the uplink bandwidth is limited to nearly ISDN speeds, somewhere around 128kbps up. Or have they changed it significantly since I last looked at it...

Also, you need a huge C-band sized dish if you want to get rid of rain fade; those 3 foot and smaller dishes don't have the gain to make it through clouds...

Cable= shared server, never one constant speed

DSL= through the phone lines, gets one constant connection, at one constant rate

I have DSL "eXtreme" (corny Bellsouth advertisers), its 3.0mb/s, I get around 2.8-2.9 normally. If I recall, not many cable users get over 2.5mb/s, unless they have Fiber Optics, which can hit 5mb/s.

No, the upload still sux ***. It has never had problems on cloudy days though...... but we have so much sun here that's a moot point //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That's the problem inherent with wireless communications. If you want fast data transfer, it's always going to come down to speed = bandwidth. Can't rewrite physics...well, until you get up past 300GHz where there's absolutely nothing up there, plenty of room for high speed data //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
